It's 11:57 pm, still Monday :). I apologize for being late on posting my last card for the "14 Days Of Love" project. Me, my hubby and kids went to Santiago City on Saturday (our families live there), and returned today in the afternoon. We had such great days over there, the weather was cold even though the sun was shining, birds singing all around, that was truly heavenly :) ...i have to say that i didn't want to comeback :( But i too missed being here, creating and working on my next classes :). I read the new comments :) they made me feel really good. Ok, this is my last card for Valentine's ...Thank you for your patience and please forgive me for taking all this time to post this last card. Tomorrow i will let you know who is the winner of the "14 Days Of Love" project. All the girls did a really good job. Have a good night and thank you for your sweet comments!! :)

Valentine's is not just for love between lovers, but for love between friends. That's why tonight my proposal is a little different of what I have been posting. Because sometimes the person we love goes away ... and there always be a "Good" friend around us to be our strength.This card is for all "My Good Friends"... they for sure know who they are!This part of this song describes perfectly what a friend is:"If the sky above youShould turn dark and full of cloudsAnd that old north wind should begin to blowKeep your head together and call my name out loudAnd soon I will be knocking upon your door".

Let's take good care of our friends, for they were not found around the corner!!'Till tomorrow!

I will try to use other colors for tomorrow's post. Promise!for the above tag and box shown below, i used AccuCut dies, (thank you Alex for letting me use your cutie dies).

Hi, just a quick post today, here it goes my entry number four for The 14 Days Project. Today I used a stamp from Great Impressions, this is one of the stamps of the month, I love them all! The "Cupido" shape is a retired die from Sizzix, Mrs.Grossman's stickers, buttons and others from craft store...And here is the altered heart box. I found the heart box at my local store, and just had to put some papers from my scrap. It is a cutie, you can put some chocolate kisses in there and would be an amazing and "testing good" gift for Valentine's :)Thank you so much for your nice comments, have a great day!!!
